Poem
A little girl went skipping down to the wishing well Wearing a torn dirty dress and her hair in a ponytail She stood on her tippy toes and looked down inside Seeing her reflection she said hello and an echo replied She came to make a wish for her sick mom home in bed Her daddy left not saying a word just a kiss on the forehead The little girl takes a coin out of her pocket and drops it in Closing her eyes she tells the well her wish with a dimpled grin Racing back to her house she bursts through the front door Peeks in her mother’s room but she’s not there like before Mommy, where are you she yells as she searches every room She was about to cry when she smelled a familiar perfume My little girl she hears whispered in her ear don’t be afraid I have gone to heaven to be with Jesus you need to be brave Daddy is waiting for you and he needs you more than ever I may be gone from sight but I will live in your heart forever She could hear her daddy calling as her mommy faded away I’m over here daddy talking to mommy she says we have to stay Her daddy picks her up in his arms and gives her a loving squeeze Not knowing what to say to his little girl or even what to believe How could she be talking to mommy when he saw her die today? I need to tell you something about mommy and why she went away Mommy told me already and then she gently touched his face I wished for mommy to get better and now she is in a better place. They walked hand in hand and both knowing they had each other He would miss his wife and the little girl would miss her mother Now the little girl is all grown up and is a mother of a little boy Understanding the meaning of unconditional love and pure joy A little boy went skipping down to the wishing well Wearing torn dirty shorts and holding his fishing pail He stood on his tippy toes and looked down inside Seeing his reflection he said hello and an echo replied.
